Why do all the Leftists have noses that grow? And did Carlo Collodi (Pinocchio) realize that he had the entire future Democrat Party of the United States wired?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Media Matters for America today announced the winner of its 2005 "Misinformer of the Year" award. After much deliberation and a thorough -- and somewhat painful --review of the many distortions, false statements, and instances of misinformation we have corrected during the year, MSNBC's Chris Matthews takes home the prize.
In 2005, Matthews called the majority of his fellow Americans "real whack-jobs"; praised a speech by President Bush as "brilliant" even before it was delivered; said that Bush sometimes "glimmers" with "sunny nobility"; and gushed at having his picture taken with the president, adding that Bush "belongs on Mount Rushmore." Matthews made false claims about Democrats, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, Iraqi elections, Catholics, and the Iraqi insurgency, and he derided people with sneering insults, calling them "witchy" and "thimble-wit(s)."
"Last year, we named Bill O'Reilly the 'Misinformer of the Year.' O'Reilly remained true to his roots and continued to spread conservative misinformation in 2005," said David Brock, President and CEO of Media Matters. "However, Chris Matthews is viewed by many as a trustworthy source of information, which makes his egregious statements and inaccuracies even more astonishing. We will continue to monitor Matthews's shows and point out every instance of conservative misinformation."
Matthews -- host of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews and NBC's syndicated program The Chris Matthews Show -- is a former presidential speechwriter and congressional staffer, a best- selling author, and recipient of The Washington Post's "Crystal Ball" award for his successful predictions of U.S. presidential elections. In addition, he can now claim the title of 2005 "Misinformer of the Year."
Media Matters for America has compiled a list of some of his most outrageous, false, and misleading claims of 2005. Without further ado, let's play hardball:

There can be no other explanation.
On the other hand, it's very possible that Media Matters for America is run by idiots.
The DUmmies always insist that Crissy is a conservative!!! Of course, for the DUmmies, anybody to the right of Pol Pot is a conservative.

Media Matters is run by the same traitors who run the ultra-leftwing group, People for the American Way. The idea for Media Mattrs came after a meeting between David Brock (the homo who left the Republican Party after the proposed ban on gay marriage) and Hitlery.
The links go to the Media Matters website. They are delusional at best and very bad liars at worst. Probably both.
Hissy is one of the biggest Bush-bashers on the planet.
No mention of the NYTimes or Dan Rather? Not even runners up?
"Is this from Scrappleface?"
No, its even funnier. It is from David Brock, the certifiable liar that is funded by George Soros, after having been funded by lavishly by conservatives for years. He is worse than Cindy Sheehan.
"Terminal Moonbats!" I LOVE IT!! LOL
Wow! The Liberals are eating their own!!!!!!!
FUUNNNNYYYY!!!!
These ultra-leftwing groups are obnoxious like so many these other groups in fact they are obnoxious in a different and worse way!
So, Chris Matthews has some isoalted praise for Bush and that makes him a "misinformer.' But the NYT wallows in the cesspool of bias and deception and gets a pass. Brock reveals himself as a more of a fool each day.
Did anyone send this to his boss, Tim Russert?
Maybe he's the guy that needs to read this.
Matthews is looking real bad. His jowls are really starting to droop & flap when he talks/yells. This combined w/ his spitting make me think there's a real physical problem w/ him (mental one already known).
-- Matthews's panels consistently skew to the right.
'Nuf said
sucks down a pint of Jack Daniels before he goes on the air.
He and Mark Shields were at an outdoor Bush for Prez event in NH in 1999. My daughter and I sat next to them.
Chris' suit jacket and pants were wrinkled and my daughter counted six stains. His tie was partially knotted and dirty. Hair disshevled. It was noon on a June day. He looked like a street person.
That's pathetic.
You have to wonder how these libs keep their jobs.
THE "David Brock"??
Gimme a break.
Chrissy hates Bush and I've never heard him say anything nice about the man ... but I don't watch him, either.
